amazon EC2 - How to make wp-config.php to writable? I'm using Amazon EC2 with Bitnami wordpress. I recently tried to use plugins, they install and activate well, but there are still errors. Those errors look like permission errors. Also, perhaps, how to make the whole wordpress directory writable? I'm only accessing through SSH.
